Well, it's been a long time in the making, but I am so pleased and excited to tell you all of my brand new album release, titled: "Ever Since You Never Heard Of Me"! Iam so pleased that I am almost beyond words. (I know. Me beyond words?)

I recently launched the International Singer-Songwriters Hall of Fame (ISSHF). Here's the mission statement:

"Our mission is to unite and bring awareness of singer-songwriters all over theworld. It is now time for western consciousness to enter the world—participate, regenerate, expand, and become part of the global musical community.Music is the universal language connecting the invisible realitiesof our human soul. Even the most simple song can bring profound innerunderstanding of one’s self, and become a tangible thread fromone to another. Music has the ability to bridge, heal and save our planet.The ISSHF will be a musical contribution to world wholeness and peace."
